Abstract
RNA-seq enables the analysis of gene expression profiles across different conditions and organisms. Gene expression burden slows down growth, which results in poor predictability of gene constructs and product yields. Here, we describe how we applied RNA-seq to study the transcriptional profiles of Escherichia coli when burden is elicited during heterologous gene expression. We then present how we selected early responsive promoters from our RNA-seq results to design sensors for gene expression burden. Finally, we describe how we used one of these sensors to develop a burden-driven feedback regulator to improve cellular fitness in engineered E. coli.
